Traffic Enforcement Initiative in Pella

Today is the first day of a four week traffic enforcement initiative by the Pella Police Department. Officers will be cracking down on traffic violators, especially seatbelt, speed and OWI violations. The officers will also dedicate time to the central business district in Pella, with enforcement of pedestrian crosswalk violations, and the local ordinance restricting “K” turns. The initiative is phase one of a proactive approach to optimize public safety and promote positive driving behaviors.
